[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3947769, member: 63706"] Capitalism has its flaws and problems with corruption. And I have no problem with trying to come up with solutions to those problems. But, I would rather put up with some amount of inequality than deal with the absolute economic obliteration that comes with true socialism. [SIZE=5]From Merriam-webster [B][/B] [B]Definition of [I]socialism[/I][/B][/SIZE] 1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods 2a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state 3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between [URL='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/capitalism']capitalism[/URL] and [URL='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/communism']communism[/URL] and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done Everywhere it has been attempted. Most notably with the Bolshevik uprising. Notice how pretty much every country that has a "communist party" in charge actually has a capitalist economic structure. Some are more socialist than others, but capitalism out performs other economic systems so much that communists countries are basically communist in name only. [/QUOTE]
